eForm 4473 Variance Permits First Electronic Storage Approval

HARTFORD, Connecticut – Orchid Advisors, #1 in FFL Compliance Solutions, and strategic partner Grabagun, an industry leading retailer, are excited to announce the industry’s first variance permitting eForm 4473 electronic storage. This variance, specific to Grabagun, permits the licensee to retain an electronic copy of an e4473, in lieu of paper, provided that certain conditions are met. Other licensees seeking an ATF Variance of this type must contact ATF and follow their Variance request process. Firearm licensees may contact Orchid Advisors to learn more about supporting retail technology.

“This is an exciting time to be an FFL. We now have the ability to use innovative technology to further reduce errors and improve compliance at the same time we lower costs. Strategically this is a big win for the industry that would not have been possible without our partnership with Orchid Advisors,” said Brent Cossey, CEO of Grabagun.

Both Orchid Advisors and Grabagun will be present at the NRA Annual Meeting being held May 3 – 6, in Dallas, Texas.
